Thanks for that confirmation on your method. I updated to PR Beta 25.2.0.50 to test something else. But tested this first since you confirm you are doing it correctly.
And voila! I see the problem. The problem does not happen every time, and so far I can not pin down what makes a difference. And with the method I describe below, I get the same inconsistent, but buggy, behavior in 25.0.0.
To try to find a pattern, I created new text and tested, and alternated with previous text. While new text tended to show the problem when tested immediately, there was no set pattern. I could test the same text repeatedly using these same steps, and not see the problem, then change focus and see the problem on the same text.
In any event, the steps that produced the problem most of the time with new text are:
1 Select text tool and create text. I used abcd. Result is focus in the Program Monitor with text in the red bounding box, in edit mode with Text tool active. 2 Click in timeline to deselect the new text/text box. Focus is in Timeline with regular arrow there, but Text tool still active if we hover over PM. 3 Click on selection/move tool to change tools. Focus is on Tools panel. 4 Click on text in PM - I placed the cursor between the b and c. Bounding box appears, and does not enter edit mode. 5 Type t. The "t" is added at the end of the existing text, with the red vertical, editing cursor after it.
When the problem does not occur, at step 5, the red text box appears, and it is not in editing mode, and there is no vertical cursor to show where text would be entered. If t is pressed repeatedly it does nothing (the Text tool is already active), and pressing other letters, e.g. "x", activates that shortcut (an in/out is set in the timeline).
I don't think this has been reported, because, yeah, it's a bad habit! lol. But it is a bug.
